Hi everyone,

Please can anyone let me know if a Pedometer is worth investing in ? I am thinking of buying one to see if I actually take 10,000 steps or more per day ? Probably not, the amount of time I spend on my computer (LOL)!

Many thanks

Anna

I like them and have two (one was a freebie), but I don't wear one all the time. They are good for giving you an idea what your daily activitiy is like with and without workouts.

I found that if I do a Cathe tapes, the 10,000 steps are easy to get, but it really takes work if I don't.

How do pedometers work exactly? They look really clunky to me. Can people tell you're wearing one?

Thanks

Mine are very small and clip to a belt, and they make little click sounds.

I don't like them. I have two and neither are very accurate. My feeling is you probably already know if you are getting enough steps in your day... They click side to side as your foot hits the ground. Worthless for hiking. My grandma has one and wears it instead of exercising so she can go around telling everyone she went 2,000 steps today...LOL.....
